Two injured in separate assaults at Sports

A pair of unrelated assaults at Kilroy’s Sports Bar were reported to the Bloomington Police Department around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. Officers were dispatched to the bar after receiving a report of prior battery, Sgt. Joe Crider said.

The reported victim, a 22-year-old male, told officers he had been struck in the face for unknown reasons by a black male who was roughly six feet tall and had a cornrow-style haircut.

The victim was bleeding from the nose and mouth and his nose was swollen. Officers received information about a possible suspect from staff members at the bar.

While officers were at Kilroy’s Sports Bar assisting with the original complaint, they were approached by an intoxicated man, 27, who said he had been struck in the left side of his face by a tall, unknown black male.

He reported pain on the left side of his face and a possible loose tooth. The second reported victim couldn’t provide any further specifics about the reported aggressor and became uncooperative, Sgt. Crider said.

Sgt. Crider also said the second reported suspect is not the same individual as the first suspect. Kilroy’s Sports Bar staff provided officers with a name but they were unable to locate the individual.

A witness at the bar told officers the second reported victim grabbed the tall black male’s arm as the man was leaving the bar and then the two men exchanged words. The witness said that the black male seemed upset with what was said and then struck the 27-year-old reported victim in the face. Both investigations are active.
